The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents and short-term debt approximates fair value. The fair value of long-term debt is determined based on recent trade information in the financial markets of the Company’s public debt or is determined by discounting future cash flows using interest rates available to the Company for issues with similar terms and maturities which is considered a Level 2 fair value measurement.

At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had derivative financial instruments outstanding to hedge anticipated transactions and certain asset and liability related cash flows. These contracts, which have maturities ranging from April 2024 to December 2024, qualify as cash flow hedges under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge, the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings and is presented in the same income statement line item as the earnings effect of the hedged item. Cash flows from derivative financial instruments designated as cash flow hedges are classified as cash flows from operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Certain derivative contracts entered into to manage the cost of anticipated purchases of natural gas and aluminum have been designated by the Company as cash flow hedges. At March 31, 2024, these contracts included natural gas swaps covering approximately 0.05 million metric million British thermal units (“MMBTUs”). These contracts represented approximately 0.9% of anticipated usage in North America for 2024. The Company also has certain natural gas hedges that it does not treat as cash flow hedges. See “Non-Designated Derivatives” below for a discussion of these hedges. At March 31, 2024, the Company had also designated swap contracts covering 355 metric tons of aluminum as cash flow hedges. The fair value of the Company’s commodity cash flow hedges netted to loss positions of $(66) and $(41) at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The amount of the loss included in accumulated other comprehensive loss at March 31, 2024 expected to be reclassified to the income statement during the next twelve months is $(66).

The Company has entered into forward contracts to hedge certain anticipated foreign currency denominated sales and purchases expected to occur in 2024 and 2025. The net positions of these contracts at March 31, 2024 were as follows (in thousands):


Currency	Action	Quantity
Colombian peso	purchase	16,966,782
Mexican peso	purchase	429,499
Polish zloty	purchase	98,802
Danish krone	purchase	34,765

Canadian dollar	purchase	25,729

The fair value of foreign currency cash flow hedges related to forecasted sales and purchases netted to gain positions of $1,697 and $1,502 at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Gains of $1,697 are expected to be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to the income statement during the next twelve months.

During the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company became a party to cross-currency swap agreements with a total notional amount of $500,000 to effectively convert a portion of the Company’s fixed-rate U.S. dollar denominated debt, including the semi-annual interest payments, to fixed-rate euro-denominated debt. The swap agreements, which have a maturity of December 18, 2026, provide for the Company to receive semi-annual interest payments in U.S. dollars at a fixed rate and to make semi-annual interest payments in euros at a fixed rate. The risk management objective of entering into the swap agreements is to manage foreign currency risk relating to net investments in certain European subsidiaries denominated in euros. The agreements are designated as net investment hedges for accounting purposes.

The gain or loss on the net investment hedge derivative instrument is included in the “Foreign currency translation” component of “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” until the net investment is sold, diluted, or liquidated. Interest payments received for the cross-currency swaps are excluded from the net investment hedge effectiveness assessment and are recorded in “Interest expense” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The assumptions used in measuring fair value of the cross-currency swaps are considered level 2 inputs, which are based upon the Euro-to-U.S. dollar exchange rate market.

The fair value of the Company’s net investment hedges was a gain position of $4,850 and a loss position of $5,073 at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. A translation gain of $3,613 (net of income taxes of $1,237) and a translation loss of $3,779 (net of income taxes of $1,294) were reported as components of “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” within “Foreign currency items” at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

As a result of continued strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the euro, as well as a reduction in the differential between U.S. and European interest rates, the fair value of the Company’s net investment hedge continued to appreciate into the month of April 2024. On April 15, 2024, subsequent to the end of the first quarter of 2024, the Company terminated the swap agreements and received a cash settlement of $11,634. The foreign currency translation gain of approximately $3,143, net of tax, will be included as a component of “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” in the second quarter of 2024. Following the unwind of the swaps, the Company entered into new cross-currency swap agreements with a total notional amount of $500,000 to effectively convert a portion of the Company’s fixed-rate U.S. dollar-denominated debt, including the semi-annual interest payments, to fixed-rate euro-denominated debt. The new swap agreements have a maturity of May 1, 2027.

The Company routinely enters into other derivative contracts which are not designated for hedge accounting treatment under ASC 815. As such, changes in fair value of these non-designated derivatives are recorded directly to income and expense in the periods that they occur. Cash flows from derivative financial instruments not designated as hedges are classified as cash flows from operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

The Company routinely enters into forward contracts or swaps to economically hedge the currency exposure of intercompany debt and foreign currency denominated receivables and payables. The net currency positions of these non-designated contracts at March 31, 2024, were as follows (in thousands):


Currency	Action	Quantity
Indonesian rupiah	purchase	19,814,218
Colombian peso	purchase	67,308,931
Mexican peso	purchase	412,841
Canadian dollar	purchase	7,981

The Company has entered into non-designated derivative contracts to manage the cost of anticipated purchases of natural gas. At March 31, 2024, these contracts consisted of natural gas swaps covering approximately 6.6 million MMBTUs and represented approximately 87% and 33% of anticipated usage for 2024 and 2025, respectively.
